Source of Second Hand Delight.

The enthusiastic traveller is always re-
freshing, till you begin to get too much
of him. He Tor shc) breaks out into
transports whenever n new object is
sighted, and expresses unbounded delight
upon every possible occasion. These
good people are generally first trippers;"
they have not been abroad before, and
nearly everybody takes it hard the first
time. One jealous clergyman whom l
remember was n perpetual fountain of
second hand delight. Everything he saw
raincd bliss upon him, and ever during n
hard fit of sea sickness he averred, with
n haggard smile, that he had always
wanted to know how it felt, and was
thankful to n gracious Providence for
giving him the opportunity. But his
thanks were rather more fervent when
he got well.-Wm Carleton.

People of venezueIa's Capital.

Although the Plaza Bolivar is open to
everybody, the lower classes never enter
it during concert hours, but content them
selves with listening to the music outside
the railing. Altogether l have rarely met
with n more docile, well behaved people
than the lower classes of Venezuelanos.
They are poor and ignorant, but ut the
same time honest and kind hearted. Rob
berries are hardly known in Caracas. The
doors are left open during the day, and
even Mt night they seem to be closed only
for formality's sake, but not for protec-
ton. In my numerous lonely walks
through the streets Mt night, not only in
Caracas, but in other towns, l never met
n disorderly or drunken person. After II
O'Clock Mt night everything is quiet. The
few tramways crossing the city stop
shortly after 10 O'Clock, and at midnight
the streets are absolutely deserted, re-
minding me often of similar streets with
houses in n city far away, at the foo of
Mount Vesuvius-Pompeii.- E. De Hesse

l doubt II there is II successful man in
the city Of New York whose door is not
darkened every day in every week by men
whom he cannot afford TO turn away; by
men who want work for what that work
will bring them; by men to whose hands
the heavy shovel and the pick are
strangers, and who wouldn't know what to
do with either the one or the other; by
men who have n past, but whose present is
dark, whose future is obscured; by men
to whom the temporary relief of SO or $40
means, OH so little; by men who are
clothed with the garments of despair, born
of their utter inability TO find employment
sufficiently remunerative to keep n root
over their heads and clothing on their

One eyed people who can afford it have
two glass cycs-one for day, the other
for evening use. The reason for this is
hat the pupil Of the eye is smaller in tho
DAYTIME thar at night, and hence tho
two glass eyes arc of different sizes, so as
Ia correspond with the natural eye. The
IEicc of glass eyes is becoming cheaper
n account of competition, and at the
same time the quality is better. A COM
mon glass eye may be had for $40, but
they are not good deccptions and do not
last long. \ first class eve costs $50, or
even more. The best will not last over
two years, because the secretions in the
hollow OF the eye roughen the glass by
chemical action, and his roughness irri-
tItcs the flesh.

would break it. If n person could buy
glass eyes at wholesale, by the gross. he
could get them for about So apiece. But
lc would rave To look over n great many
hcfore finding one to fit and TO match his
other eye in size, color and expression.
Glass eyes ARE all made abroad, princi-
lally in Germany and France, no
factory having been started here,
although there is n great demand
for them in this country. A glass eye
is not made after the shape of a natural
eye, because when the latter Is taken
from the cavity the tissue Just back of it
presses forward and leaves but little
space. The false eye is, therefore, clip
teal in shape. The outer side preserves
the natural form. but the inner side is
near flat with rounded edges. 1t is
slightly larger than the natural eye, so
that when inserted in the cavity it may
not silly out. At first it i~rritates the eye
lads and the tissue back of the cavity, but
the wearer grows accustomed to it and
iinds it a rest and n protection. a skillful
nculist can put n glass eye into the cavity
~ that very close observation is necessary
To detect it. Not only are the size and
color of the natural eye counterfeited,
but even the general expression. Tho
oculist has yet To discover means of giving
that sympathetic movement which dis
tinguishes n pair of eyes. There is quite
a large number of people with glass eyes,
say II in 400 You would not know il
10y casual observation, for the wearer Of
n glass eye is SO sensitive ON the subject
that he is careful Of his actions in public,
and he becomes so accustomed to the

feet. Science has lone better by him
Than by the man with the wooden limb.

1t is not generally known that the bulk
of the product of the world is from the
straits settlements on the Malay peninsula
or Malacca in the southern part of Asia.
The mining there is that of "blood tin"
not rock, and this means that it is taken
from the lowlands near the mountains,
where it is oun in seams or pockets, ten
or twenty feet or more below the surface
level, in the shape of or appearing like
coarse black sand, with here and there q
mixture of tin. The ore is smelted in
slabs of irregular shape at the mines and
sent to Penang and Singapore to be re-
smelted in regular marketable slabs or
blocks, and ut the SANE time purified, and
then to be shipped. The tin mining,
capital and labor, is practically in the

There is no story in the history of the
world more remarkable than that OF Aus
tria. 1t is the history of tho triumph of
diplomacy over war, and yet of n diplo-
macy dependent always for its power on
n certain kind of military strength. To
us it seems that though undoubtedly tie
heterogeneous character of the monarchy,
which has always weakened its armies, is
more apparent on the surface than ever,
yet that, in n contest with Russia which
should take place n year or two hence,
Austria would be practically stronger
than she has been at any time in her his
tory. The Austrian armies a probI-
bly, sustained more defeats than any other
troops in Europe, yet over aud again
she has become the decisive power whose
influence, thrown into the scale, has de-
tcrmined the issue of victorious war.
IL was her union with the niles that
proved fatal to Napoleon in 1918. Her
union with us during the campaigns OF
Marlborough is connected with some Of
the most glorious periods of our own mil
itary history. The power of recuperation
which she has again and again shown
after defeat has been marvellous. 1t is no
doubt due to the fact that her population,
almost entirely agricultural, has always
furnished n vast supply OF hardy, healthy
soldiers; while the masses of her rural
iolh HhNc, uesplte inc sOClhIsm Oh the
towns, been less disposed toward revolu-
tionary changes than any others in Eu-
rope. Patriotism, except in Hungary, is
no doubt difficult for the inhabitants of
the ~ngglomcrate empire. 1t is hard to
know toward what nation their patriot
ism should be felt. Nevertheless the 10y
alty of many raccs-the Tyrolese, for in
stance-and generally n certain attach
ment to the royal house, If it does not
supply all the motive power which armies
need, saves Austria from many of the
risks which some of her neighbors run.-

HOW WE MET.

While summer will her slow, reluctant feet
Went by, and lingering, smiled, as 10th to part,
What fond decisions warmed one lonesome
heart!
Though lives by fate were severed, thoughts could
meet:
So met we, dear, us bodiless spirits greet;
Met and were blind, foreseeing not the smart
OF hopes that hope not, and Of tears that start
From eyes which look what lips may not repeat.
Here for a day-then gone beyond the sun
Brief is the way, md soon the journey done
And less or more Of love why should we mea-
surcY
But Fate nvenges pleasant things begun;
And RetributiOn spares not any one,
And no gods pity those who steal their treasure.

The Alaska Free Press claims that
miners on Forty-mile creek. an afflu-
ent Of the Upper Yukon river, rock
out rs high ns thirteen ounces of gold
in one day. Quartz carrying an album
dance of free gold was picked up this
summer on Forty miles creek, but its
source is rs yet not discovered. In
fact it is unprospected, for in its
gravel beds alone lie the attraction.
This stream empties into the Yukon
about 100 miles below Fort Reliance,
having irs origin in the Alaskan range
of mountains on the east divide and To
the east ef Mount ST. Elias and the
bead waters of Copper river. Run
ming from Copper river tn the east Is
an immense copper belt, sixty miles
wide, and it has been traced over the
divide 100 miles. The di.gings on
the Forty.mile commence apout three
miles up from its mouth, and are con-
tinuous forty miles up, AS far as this
summers explorations extended.
Bars worked along th stream yield
ed all the way from $40 TO thirteen
ounces per day to the man. 1t is all
very course gold, the market price in
Juneau of which is about SIT per
ounce. Two nuggets were washed out
in these diggings this summer. All
the miners, with the exception of those
who did NO washing to speak of, hut
spent their time prospecting, rocked
out from $500 to g. 900 in dust. This
gold was mainly taken out of creek
beds and very near to running water,
for in no case could miner work fur
ther back than four feet into the gravel
banks, on account of entering the hard
frozen ground. The gold lies more IN
punches than otherwise. A miner in
formed US that several shovels of dirt
could be taken up which would con-
tain nothing but a few colors, while
another would perhaps yield an ounce.
The richest deposits lay behind bOul-
der and drifts. On one bar three men
on the 25th of July rocked out 26
ounces.

crosscut taps the ore about the same
